The boards are old. How many of us have a 15 year old computer that still runs?

Actually, I still have my first PC purchased in 1984 that is still working!

Intel 8088 @ 4.77MHz with 640KB of ram, 20MB hard drive and a 5.25 inch floppy.
It cost $5500 back in the day, I think computers were built to last at that time due to the high price tag.

Fast forward to the late 90's and early 2000's (MTH PS2 5v era), I replaced so many computer motherboards from blown caps that I could have built a house out of them. Around 2007, it seems like my blown cap motherboard problems slowed quite a bit.
